Halls of Torment is an incredible auto-battler like Vampire Survivors with a classic Diablo vibe to it, and now it's set to get a lot bigger. It's easily one of the biggest and best survivor-likes, with nearly 30,000 user reviews and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam.
While no date has been set for it yet, the formal announcement has just gone out today for the Boglands DLC. This will expand the game with a new stage, two new heroes, over 50 new quests, new abilities and gear, new game mechanics and more ways to die.
For the free update we're getting a new character, 6 new abilities, new music tracks and a new manual level up system amongst other things.
Check out the teaser below for the Boglands DLC:

You can also find comments for this article on social media: 
Auto battler seems to be used also for otherwise different games, which happens to have element where you don't directly control the units.
Auto shooter seems to be used for some games in the genre. Bullet heaven is also used.
Halls of Torment was first game in the genre that clicked for me. The mechanic of just moving around and dodging enemies can be bit boring at first if you don't have any direction to go to. Halls of Torment happened to first one I played that pointed where two mystic objects were located and that was enough to get me hooked. I spent 45 hours with the game and updates might give good excuse to play some more.
I think you can even, if you want, fire shots manually (some games in the genre have that optional feature, not sure if this one).
Autobattler is games like Mechabellum, Dota Auto Chess, etc.
Anyway, DLC for this is great, I wanted to get back into it anyway.
